IceCap Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't think you can lump the Jets logo in with the other roundels. It's a roundel because it emulates the RCAF roundel. Not because they want to cash in on the Olde Tyme Iced Hockey Club look.

OnWis97 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't think you can call it a "trend", thank goodness, but the "four stripe" patch the Isles brought in with the return of their traditional look...that could have been a trend. The only other I can think of is the Oilers black alt paying homage to the five cups.I think we may be out of the woods for that becoming a "trend".

lancealot Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Roundels. (recently)Initial offender: Minnesota Wild, 2003Subsequent offenders *note, some logos pre-dated the Wild, but have only been featured on jerseys since the trend started. Others were just part of the graphic that i had previously madeSome of those are good eg. Hawks and the second pens one but alot of them are horrible eg. The first wild, the preds one ect.

phutmasterflex Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think the lace ups are a good thing. I think it gives hockey a more old style feel.To an extent. It looks nice on the older teams like the Rangers but teams like the Sharks shouldn't try to adopt an old school feel with their jerseysI think that either all 30 teams should have lace up collars, or only the Original Six. One or the other.I think it would be a cool differentiating feature if just the Original Six had them. So far, 3/6 do (Leafs, Bruins, Rangers)That would be a very unique thing I'd like to see Go A's!

hockey week Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Whoever started the current boring faux-retro trend in sports would be the worst offender.In hockey, that's definitely Reebok's ultra-futuristic Edge v1 set that started that trend. The "Vintage" series in 2003-04 didn't work out that well sales-wise. Nobody bought the '68 baby blue Pens jersey then, everybody bought one when the Winter Classic used it I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Kevin W. Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I wouldn't mind the Pens' current blue uniform if it actually looked like one of the blue uniforms they wore in the past. Their first WC uniform was much better.

FlyersHockey1967 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Like the Flyers different-colored nameplates..http://cdn3-www.hockeysfuture.com/assets/uploads/2012/06/brayden_schenn_phi_042212.jpgI'm perfectly fine with the white nameplates on the Flyers orange jerseys because of the historical context, which I find really cool and unique. Not to mention they make their t-shirt jerseys (or "shirseys") look really cool . For those who may not be aware, nationally televised games mandated the use of names on the backs of jerseys. The Flyers didn't have nameplates for their orange uniforms. So when they played away games on NBC, they would borrow the white nameplates from their home uniforms. I think this only lasted one season; after that they put names on the away uniforms full-time.The same can't be said for the black nameplates on the Flyers current white jerseys, however. Or other teams that never used a contrasting nameplate in their history, for that matter. From that standpoint I would agree, it's not a great design trend.(image source from this article: http://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2012/2/19/2808824/remember-how-nbc-sunday-nhl-hockey-used-to-be)As far as I could tell, the initial offender of the vintage white trend.http://www.nhlsnipers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ept_sports_nhl_experts-797636805-1253310374.jpgCorrect me if I'm wrong, but didn't/doesn't the Minnesota Wild red jersey have vintage white first?

The "Vintage" series in 2003-04 didn't work out that well sales-wise. Nobody bought the '68 baby blue Pens jersey then, everybody bought one when the Winter Classic used itI think in baseball, you could make a case that the Phillies change from their 70s-80s set to their current one in 1992 would be one of the first moves to a faux-back design. Since then, when the neo-retro stadiums started opening, and teams like the Indians started wearing old-style uniforms, I think that's when the fad really started.In football, I think that the Lions throwbacks for the '94 season (and to a lesser extend the 49ers) really got teams thinking about older looks, and then in less than a decade we saw the Giants and Jets go back to old looks. Obviously, the popularity of the Chargers powder blue started a trend as well, as teams like the Nuggets all of a sudden decided that bright blue and yellow were a good combo. That eventually morphed in to the blue-on-blue craze, which Dallas, Memphis, and (most eggregiously) Utah followed (along with countless hockey teams.)

wildwing64 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think the lace ups are a good thing. I think it gives hockey a more old style feel.Well the thread subtitle does say "Or good trends even." Though I'm with phutmasterflex. They work for some teams, but they seem out of place on others. That the San Jose Sharks wear a lace-up collar while the Montreal Canadiens wear the stock Edge v-neck is just wrong.I think whether the lace-up collar works depends entirely on the overall design of the jersey itself. If it's got an old timey feel or you're going for a classic look, then yeah, go ahead and throw on a lace-up collar. But modern looking wordmarks, templates or logos they mostly don't work with at all. Calgary's mess, the old SENS third and the leaping cartoony Shark are the first things that come to mind that shouldn't have lace-ups going anywhere near them.Speaking of Ottawa: if you're gonna stick a black lace-up on a black jersey, why bother at all? It's barely noticeable and may as well not even be there. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Fun fact: Every single high school football team in the country wore the Broncos template from 1998-2001.If I recall, my high school adopted that design in my junior year, which was 2002. But interesting fact nonetheless.lol yeah i think it was more like 99/00 -04/05When nike started getting more involved in high school uniforms is when that desing took off in the high school world.. or thats how it seemed in Texas at least. Shortly after were the variations of Miamis uniforms which morphed into Russels main template recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
